What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering, chassis design principles, and proficiency with CAD software, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with tools like CATIA, SolidWorks, and FEA software, alongside knowledge of industry standards and certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), is typical. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills help you collaborate across disciplines and address design challenges. These competencies ensure the creation of safe, reliable, and innovative chassis systems that meet both performance and regulatory requirements.

What does a Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis do?

A Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis is responsible for designing, developing, and testing the structural framework of vehicles, commonly referred to as the chassis. They work with computer-aided design (CAD) software to create models and drawings, ensuring that the chassis meets safety, performance, and manufacturing requirements. Their role involves collaborating with other engineering teams, selecting appropriate materials, and conducting analysis to optimize strength, weight, and cost. These engineers are crucial in the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries.

What are some typical challenges Mechanical Design Engineers face when working on chassis development projects?

Mechanical Design Engineers working on chassis development often encounter challenges such as balancing structural strength with weight reduction, integrating new materials or manufacturing processes, and meeting strict safety and regulatory standards. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—including manufacturing, testing, and simulation experts—is key to addressing these issues. Additionally, adapting designs to accommodate evolving technologies like electric drivetrains or advanced suspension systems is a common and rewarding aspect of the role.

What is the difference between Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis vs Mechanical Design Engineer Suspension?

AspectMechanical Design Engineer ChassisMechanical Design Engineer Suspension
Primary FocusDesigning vehicle chassis structures for strength and safetyDesigning suspension systems for ride comfort and handling
Required SkillsStructural analysis, CAD, materials selectionKinematics, dynamics, CAD, materials
Work EnvironmentAutomotive manufacturing, R&D labsAutomotive testing, R&D, manufacturing
Industry UsageAutomotive, motorsports, heavy machineryAutomotive, motorsports, off-road vehicles

Both roles involve mechanical design and CAD skills, but the Mechanical Design Engineer Chassis focuses on structural components of vehicles, while the Mechanical Design Engineer Suspension specializes in dynamic systems that affect vehicle handling and comfort. They often collaborate but have distinct technical focuses within vehicle design.

Title: Mechanical Design Engineer
Type: Full-Time
Location: On-Site
Reporting: Position Reports to the Director of Engineering

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our highly skilled engineering team. The Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for designing and sustaining electromechanical product lines that service multiple industries, which include marine, RV, electric motors, as well as lighting and signs. A few of the many products include electric drive motors, electric blowers, winches, jacks, transformers, and more. The diversity of marketplaces and product lines creates an exciting and ever-changing environment for the Mechanical Design Engineer to display their expertise and design skillset.

The Mechanical Design Engineer will be equipped with all the necessary tools required to perform the job at a high level. For engineering design, SolidWorks is used for all 3D modeling and detailing efforts. In addition, access to various types of simulation software (FEA, CFD, etc.) is made available when required by the project. An ERP system is used to control all bills of materials and item masters. The Mechanical Design Engineer will have access to a fully furnished engineering lab and machine shop to support product design and prototyping. Most importantly, the Mechanical Design Engineer will have great support from an experienced and highly skilled engineering team. The engineer that excels in this position will be an individual of high work ethic and character, is self-motivated, can operate under minimal supervision, maintains close attention to detail, and embodies exceptional organization and communication skills.

Expectations:

  • Work collaboratively within an engineering team of mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers to design new products and upkeep existing product lines.
  • Work with the Director of Engineering and representatives from Sales & Marketing to accurately capture product requirements and translate those requirements into a marketable design concept.
  • Research and understand applicable design and agency standards as required.
  • Engineer and support new product designs from initial concept to manufacturing implementation.
  • Utilize SolidWorks daily for all engineering efforts.
  • Oversee and upkeep product BOM's and item master's within the ERP system.
  • Implement knowledge of various manufacturing processes including CNC machining, stamping, injection molding, die casting, and more to create products that are designed for manufacturability.
  • Clearly communicate and collaborate with various members of the purchasing team to assist in sourcing manufacturing components.
  • Provide detailed design presentations.
  • Build functional prototypes of new or improved designs as proof of concept before implementation. Prototypes are most commonly made from 3D printed and CNC machined components.
  • Test prototypes and production representative designs to ensure viability before releasing for production.
  • Analyze test results and ensure compliance with all deliverables and standards.
  • Oversee the production ramp-up and ensure design manufacturability.
  • Participate in the New Product Development Phase Gate process as well as the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process.
  • Other duties as required.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
  • Minimum 4 years of relevant experience
  • 3D modeling proficiency in SolidWorks or comparable CAD software
